Re: First impression of the 7D

Still haven't really had a chance to master the 7D yet (very busy at work ) but i did give it a bit of a workout on a holiday on Islay in September . Impression ? Wonderful ! Great fun trying to workout things and fantastic results even though i think it's more by accident than knowing what i'm doing.....LOL ! So glad i splashed out on it and the top notch lenses .deer-kildaton-road by Gordon_H61The Old Kiln Cafe , Ardbeg by Gordon_H61Ardbeg by Gordon_H61

Re: First impression of the 7D

I have been using the 7D now for 2 years and I am pretty much convinced it's the best digital camera Canon have ever made. Aside from some noise at higher ISO, it's pretty much a percect camera - a dream to use and superb image quality. I find it difficult that any one would find major issues with it - just because I use Canon (and have done since 1976!) I would not be reluctant to criticse if I thought it were necessary. The 100% viewfinder and grid overlay alone make it such a useful camera. I have always found Canon metering flakey in typical overcast UK conditions - and hence tend to use manual a lot - but the new metering system was a major step forward.
